DB Backup Blank / Not Sending

Hi dailyvideo can you check your server log file. Can you then report back to let us know what the log file says. If you are having problems finding your log file can you ask your Host.

Thank you

Found another thread. Think the issues is 2905 pages of 404 errors? Looks like Bing and Google bots hitting pages from the old Hubspot site.

Can I just delete those events from the database manually?

How can I keep the plugin from logging those errors?

Thanks!

Can I just delete those events from the database manually?

Yes you can delete the entries from the “aiowps_events” table if you wish.

In the last update of the plugin we inserted some code which ensures that the “aiowps_events” table which logs 404 events will never exceed 10,000 entries.
This code runs once per day using the native wordpress cron functionality.

I am interested to know why your table was not automatically cleaned.
Can you please check the “wp-security-log-cron-job.txt” file and tell me if the following log is being produced:
DB Cleanup – checking if a cleanup needs to be done now

How can I keep the plugin from logging those errors?

You can turn off the “404 Detection” feature via the following checkbox:
Enable IP Lockout For 404 Events

wpsolutions, thanks for chiming in.

I did check wp-security-log-cron-job.txt and that line does NOT appear.

re-verified I am running plugin version 3.8.5.

thanks for letting me know if there is a fix for that.

I did uncheck Enable IP lockout for 404 events. Would be nice we we could still block but also disable the log.

wpsolutions,

is there a fix if DB Cleanup – checking if a cleanup needs to be done now is not showing in the log file?

Thanks.

@dailyvideo,
I’ve just looked through the code and found a small bug preventing that cron job from getting fired – it was because there were a couple of lines which were commented out.
I have now fixed this and it will be available in the next release.

Awesome.

1. Is that something we can uncomment until then like if you gave us the line #s?

2. I manually deleted about 80,000 404 events from the database about 950 at a time because anymore and the browser or database would just choke. It took me about 2 hours. In the future would it be best to delete the whole plugin or is there a better way to delete those entries all at one time?

Thanks. Still love the plugin.

Yes you can.
Open the file called wp-security-core.php and uncomment the lines with the following code:
1) Look in the activate_handler() function and uncomment:
wp_schedule_event(time(), 'daily', 'aiowps_daily_cron_event');

2) Look in the deactivate_handler() function and uncomment:
wp_clear_scheduled_hook('aiowps_daily_cron_event');

After you’ve done that, deactivate and reactivate the AIOWPS plugin.
